Resumed test flights may not avert Raptor cuts

Article Abstract:

Air Force resumption of flight-testing does not mean the F/A-22 Raptor fighter aircraft program necessarily will avoid deep cuts under consideration at the Department of Defense (DOD). The Air Force had suspended flight-testing of the Raptor following the crash of an F/A-22 at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada on December 20, 2004.
